exactly gyptian started a revolution that would bring down hosni mubarak they're in the streets again protesting just as fiercely against the regime that replaced the toppled president . a decorated cia veteran and the man who first confirmed america's torture of detainees. and explains why it's him and not the torture is to take the full. career to the brink of war with pyongyang vowing to attack what it called the traitorous if it joins in with fresh international restrictions. plus a rowdy russian flights where it wasn't just the plane that was flying fists were

to win a business from the start of the scrap in the skies even threaten to kill the pilots and force an emergency landing. around the world online on screen live from the new center here in moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day over sixty civilians and thirty police have reportedly been injured across egypt now as hundreds of thousands rally on the second anniversary of the start of the country's revolution people are out to celebrate their venting anger against the new government which came to power following the uprising that toppled the longtime leadership of hosni mubarak the true. oh how big are the crowds at the moment from what you can see and how violent the protests.

absolutely the scenes here have really become quite chaotic across the country as the january twenty five anniversary rallies turned violent we've heard dozens of industry injuries across the country with clashes happening in xandra airport sayit suicide and of course cairo in addition there's been reports that the freedom and justice party headquarters which is the political wing of the missing brotherhood has been attacked and it's men they. are here in downtown cairo really stings and the volleys of tear gas coming over to my left here as the clashes between protesters and security forces are really escalating i've just been on top a square where i've witnessed a quite violent attack on a woman by four groups a sex attack on her she was stripped and beaten and taken away by an ambulance another one talking apparently on a different side of the square people believe this is the people coming to this crash trying to stop protesters from protesting against the president definitely we're going to witness these scenes go on into the night as kyra really descends into into violence and bill what is driving people back home to the streets two

years off to much of the world seemingly applauded the revolution. well this two years ago one hundred twenty five people came to the street to have enough of the injustice of the hosni mubarak regime today people say they're back here because they see no changes speaking to people today on top of their minds was the economy the situation is unbearable definitely according to january sadistic for at least a quarter of the population now under the poverty line of course the constitution itself is a place sticking points people say is dominate is drafted by an islamist dominated constituent assembly and does not represent gyptian these are really a key point is that people saying is the reason why they're here protesting against the president's i calling to change thanks very much indeed bill true live from cairo no doubt more from bell throughout the day and for more in the situation in.

egypt let's talk to. me he's editor of al kurds online news. hundreds of thousands protesting dozens injured as we've just been hearing from that live report are events of two years ago about to repeat themselves with another revolution on the way well this is definitely a new revolution. as your correspondent said people feel that may. have not been. so what you're looking at here jane when people are dealing with. they can be still this. president. who was elected. so that's why we find we take it to the streets why have those goals not been achieved many of those who started the revolution they wanted

a secular state with social equality but now they've got a share based islamist rule why has that happened. well this is a long story you two years and. unfortunately it is one section which is the muslim brotherhood wanted to exclude exclude. process and unilaterally. and also. made a great. majority of. them and the main reason actually. given. me. the dignity freedom social justice has not achieved so that's why the people are so angry and you're talking about freedom social justice and of course economic matters many back in two thousand and eleven they want

a better standard of living yet the economic situation in egypt really is no better in fact it's why would a callous dire shouldn't that be more of a priority for morsi after all if the economy is in bad shape the people's attitude will be in a bad shape. here's what from their point of view would be says the president would never give his here refused to listen to them he refused to. listen from lucia and that's whipped out a cruel. way today. across the country are saying enough is enough this is president who lost credibility so we've only seven months and it's and that's why people are asking him to leave today this is the main. demand in the streets and they're asking him to leave and yet it is interesting to note that during the revolution the u.s.

was supporting the will of the egyptian people back then what's their approach now where's their support for these hundreds of thousands now and indeed did the u.s. really want this islamised regime to be taking hold. well be accepted. region because the. muslim brotherhood or a strong enough to achieve. stability this is americans want to insure and secure their interest in egypt now the picture and the reality. sean actually. does not have. the support of the majority of people. as you ask what we are going to do now they are just watching now there is only one war that's actually will decide what's happening in egypt the people of egypt. all want to see him so much saying what's happening to people of egypt who are back

in the streets. free of the. good to talk to khaled khaled i'll shut me editor of all could online newspaper joining us live in london thank you. a terror attack alarm in libya's second largest city three european governments call it evacuation zones amid fears the city could be ripped apart by terror attacks soon more on that in a few minutes from now. but first the next cia veteran who oversaw the capture of al qaeda is third in command has been sentenced to thirty months in jail for leaking classified intelligence john kiriakou was the first to blow the whistle on washington's torture program later revealing the name of an alleged torture quantum obey what he's got to to come reports on his predicament. the cia veteran the former chief of counterterrorism operations in pakistan john kiriakou will spend thirty months in prison for leaking the identity of an agent but before he was

prosecuted mr keating after had been actively speaking out against torture and now he and his supporters believe that he was prosecuted for something for you know with torture practices in the cia it started with an investigation into how military defense attorneys at guantanamo bay obtained the names and photographs of cia personnel authorities eventually tracked one name back to a reporter who had spoken to mr good. rather than risk a far longer prison term and because he could no longer afford these legal fees they stick it out when a cobra agreed to plead guilty to one of the five charges against him violating the intelligence identities protection act by emailing the name of a covert cia officer to a few us reporter who never even published it there's something very disturbing about this case had john actually engaged in torture we wouldn't be in any trouble at all he never even would have been investigated just as he talked about torture with reporters he was going to prison the fact of the matter is that the u.s.

government has classified everything related to its torture practices which means nobody can be prosecuted for human rights violations that were systematic of systematically committed of one common thread here is what mr get out will says about that i never tortured anybody but i'm getting to prison while the torture is in the ears of people who root and the people who deceived and the man who destroyed the tapes will never sees justice and that's the saddest part of the story. this of ministration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined and while protecting those who have committed which are who have ordered torture behind this wall of classification contrary to popular belief president obama didn't stop the united states and portraying he just stopped it from torturing on his watch through an executive order which means that the us could be only another executive order away from some other president or vice

president deciding to torture again the thirty month sentence is being talked about as part of john kiriakou plea deal but the judge could still refuse to settle for that meaning he could potentially face full great to jail time and as for the accusations former cia officer ray mcgovern believes them to be political. he's being punished out of range hypocrisy. look at the chronology here in two thousand and seven john kiriakou came out very loudly against torture as being not worthy of the united states and not efficient not a way to get information what happened well the instructions were to get people to confess confess to what confessed to the existence of weapons of mass destruction in iraq confess to the existence of operational ties between al qaeda and saddam hussein it was all a crock they had to make this stuff up and you can't get real flyable information from torture but you know what torture works beautifully if you want unreliable

information and so they kind not only tired not only weapons of mass destruction but ties between iraq and al qaeda and it was a masterful propaganda performance on the part of the united states on the part of the u.k. . a vital anti terror weapon or a deadly threat to civilians key u.n. investigators look into whether the use of drone strikes mainly by the u.s. could amount to war crimes that is coming away very short here in altie. alcohol in airplanes is often a dangerous mix and so it proved for one high rolling russian businessman he said the headlines after a booze fuelled brawl at thirty thousand feet on he's going to spin off tells the tale of mile high madness. it started out as an ordinary flights to one of the popular holiday destinations for many russians egypt so you can imagine the passengers are sitting there in their seats visualizing how they're going to be somebody even just in

a couple of hours but then suddenly they resent is interrupted by one very troubled passenger. this man there we go appears to have had a little bit too much visualization if you know what i mean started smoking in a laboratory then he attacked one of the passengers so the flight attendant tried stopping him he started attacking the flight attendant and he announced that he's a former member of the swat team he's also said that he was a member of the deputy of the city duma a businessman all these things in one he was actually warned that his actions could be taken as a hijacking of the plane he said he didn't care he threatened that he was going to kill all the passengers on the plane he said that he could do it with just his two fingers and then he said that he was going to try to land the plane himself on a water so the plane did land and. the staff staff passed him over to a local police in egypt but he was traveling with his wife and a three year old daughter who he held up and when he was detained the police well

basically released him just in a matter of minutes without actually pressing any charges but the good thing the police in russia are now waiting for him to come back since they do have this video they do have reports from all the witnesses so the story's not over yet but this does bring us to the question of how much alcohol should be given to passengers because this is far from the only case of flights erupting on board of flights and in some cases the passengers duty you have to take it in their own hands to calm the passengers down like the one incident when the passengers were also with the passenger was also quite aggressive they had to duct tape the guy to seat you spent the entire transatlantic flight from iceland to the states like that but it's not always bad sometimes good things happen like this bill of on board of flight i don't know if alcohol was involved in this case but i guess if it was it wouldn't be that bad if every time it happened like that. do you want this you know

reporting that another standoff to tell you about but this time on the ground russian lawmakers move closer to passing an anti-gay promotion bill while activists both for and against scuffle outside parliament to meet argument the motion is an attack on freedoms we have a live report after the short break. well into the. out of sight but still on our minds. let's try to live smarter with smartphones you never know what some people are hiding can't be sure to prove down to the molecular level learned what the doctor ordered is often based on secrets under our skin let us shine the light on a kid in a world. we've got the future. do we speak your language i mean they will not advance. or use programs and

documentaries in spanish more matters to you breaking news it will turn it into angles kiddies stories. are you here to. try to teach spanish find out more visit eye to allahabad dot. was. here in moscow and he continues now north korea is warning a war saying it will attack south korea if its neighbor take part in fresh un sanctions the ultimatum up to a third day of foreign rhetoric with pyongyang previously valent more nuclear and

ballistic tests james called an editor of a japan based newspaper news website i should say says that the region is on the brink join you is an absolute wildcard in this whole situation and it really is just an irrational actor in in the whole scene there in it it's been years now of carrots and sticks and neither of them seem to have any effect there seems to be periods of relative quiet and then periods of panic and threats and violent threats of violence and so far that it's failed to materialize into into very much you know on the korean peninsula but of course it's always possible that some sort of some incident could come out of this i don't think anyone even the north koreans really want to see that but i think it is a way of keeping the focus on the region and keeping people coming back to the table with north korea but i don't think north korea is ultimately going to be the the actor that will have to be involved for a solution to this i think this is going to have to involve china at some point

because they are the ones that are keeping north korea on an economic leash and a lifeline right now. another counterterrorism effort by the us is under the microscope the un has launched an inquiry into the legality of using drones worldwide investigation comes amid rising concern that the flurry of what's dumped antiterrorist drugs has done little to protect civilians rights activists suggest that in pakistan the record of those killed by cia drone attacks on innocent bystanders. in the reports. what we have going on is a group of top notch international law specialist spearheaded by the un special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism launching this investigation into the drone attacks carried out by the united states in recent years there are going to be looking into the drone strikes taking place over somalia yemen again to stand pakistan and the actions of israel when it comes to the occupied territories the group plans to look into from twenty to thirty specific strikes one of the areas they're going to concentrate on are the so-called double tap strikes where rescuers

for example people running to save victims of a drone strike were attacked by a follow up or are people going to funerals this is been something that's been a big concern lately with dozens of people dying in those incidents so this is what they're going to look into this is something that's going to last a while they will look into the numbers of casualties the identities of casualties and really the legal liabilities that might follow and this is something that we're not really expecting any kind of legal serious accusations to come out of but one of the things they're looking into is whether or not work crime is a term that can be used a very strong term so this is something that we're going to have to find out when this reports as finally revealed in the months to come well is what prompted this investigation is of course growing concerns that the increased attacks killing civilians and children on the ground this is something that's been a big concern for years this is something that's causing huge anti-american sentiment in places like yemen specifically where recently in the latest drone

strike two children were killed and we saw a group of. entrées russia china and pakistan addressed the un human rights council in saying look we need to investigate this further so this investigation is now being launched and it's also you know the numbers really speaking for themselves one hundred seventy eight children died just in yemen in recent years eight hundred ninety one civilians since the year two thousand and four just in pakistan so this is something that needs to be addressed and the goal of this particular investigation is exactly that the world's movers and shakers seek a solution to the global financial abyss that the davos economic forum this week while millions of dollars are being spent on their stay in the glitzy ski resort comfortable that is coming away to the south. british german and dutch authorities have called on their citizens to evacuate immediately from libya's second largest city of benghazi is feared it could soon be the target of an attack similar to the one in neighboring algeria that resulted in dozens of hostage

deaths shia political analyst patrick harris and thinks that aftershocks from the libyan revolution will spread throughout the region but it is natural to to have that fear we've had a number of. serious incidents in libya and also in neighboring algeria recently so yes it would definitely be off limits for foreigners the destabilization we see right now is a direct result of the nato policies that brought about the situation there with the overthrow of khadafi and they also have to take europe has to take responsibility as well as america for the spread of any islamic extremism into the neighboring countries there are rumors that were floating around recently that x. could off the chemical weapons were being shipped over to syria and were going to be used to blame assad. russian lawmakers the polls the first reading of the bill

which bans the promotion of homosexuality among children the legislature has already been dubbed by its ponens as anti-gay and today provoked scuffles outside parliament will need is here to explain why the bill has so much. well the view of gay rights campaigners seems that the bill is very little to do with actually protecting children and much more to do with curbing the rights of of sexual minorities in the country now as you said the first reading of the bail hostel will be two more readings before the bill is passed to the opera house of parliament then it can become into law when it is signed by president. scuffles broke out earlier this week between people who supported the bill others who saw it simply as a crackdown on their civil liberties and also came to a head earlier today just outside the state duma before the first reading was passed one activist one gay rights activist was assaulted at least twenty.

people on both sides were also arrested while activists were eggs thrown at them paint through and over them just to give you a little bit of background into the situation here gay rights has become a very big issue here in recent times over the past year in august concert by american pop star madonna it's hit headlines when she said during the concert essentially calling for rights gay rights and unions people being able to marry. ten million dollars lawsuit was taken against her but that was thrown out of court by russia so there is a lot at stake here feelings are running high but as you said it is only the first reading. thanks very much indeed for that that's artie's union o'neill there.

a skyscraper being constructed in the heart of moscow's business district goes up in flames at least one person was injured and hundred rated from the building after the fire broke out around the twenty third floor at online for more pictures and reaction to that. being online is essential for german media now as a court there demands one media company paid compensation for not providing internet services we've got a website where you can find more on that story and it is. the plight of the global economy fueled by europe's long running debt woes all of this is being poured over at this year's financial forum at the flash ski resort of just how much money is being spent to organize the gathering which is filled on the side with swish parties and lavish dinners. is clear this up for us. here in davos there's lots of rich powerful people swarming around in design a system pretty much telling the average citizen of the world that they need to be

reigning in the spending while they themselves sit expensive champagne and dine and screw rummy kind of pace which to me seems rather which in deede you've also got companies here that are laying people off in the thousands pepsi for example they are here and they just laid off with an eight thousand people and if you fire mind it costs about two hundred to three hundred thousand dollars for a ticket to the davos economic for we've also got citi group as well and they too have laid off more than eleven thousand just gives you an idea of what companies are spending their money on and all they spend you know on the right things we've also got e.c.b. president mario said ok essentially putting his fellow leaders on the spot because he says that the economic situation in europe is better than last year while it was pretty are gone and when you consider the fact that we've got protests ongoing in greece spain is unemployment at historical highs of sixty percent that really sent shivers down the spines here in davos yesterday prices just posted dismal growth it

is doesn't sound too good at a toll rate other than all of the old us talk about money and how much davos is going to cost we're talking one hundred eighty five made in dollars that's going to be spent here the davos forum which described by the along to boris johnson as a conservation of egos involved in o.j. is of our generation i know sometimes he can be quite outlasts but in this instance you know what i think i agree with boris. artie's katie pilgrim then we'll have more from her a little later live from dallas now some international news in brief we this and i world update police have opened fire and some of the scenes of the just sixty kilometers north of the iraqi capital leaving five dead and forty injured shootings happened after worshippers came out of friday prayers it's the most violent incident of the rocks and sunnis started protesting against the shit their government in december last year. six people have died in the

right wing t.v. host glenn beck is going to build his own utopia back plans to put together a massive social experiment building his own. city which will be totally independent from the evil grasp of government and the outside world where residents will have to learn how to survive on their own make their own things and grow their own food the future city called independence usa will be based on libertarian principles with hints of iran flavor there will be no handouts and no help for the self-sufficiency minded residents but back may need some help himself because building the city could cost about two billion dollars the thing is that

commentators about politics like glenn beck and horse truly have a very easy job it is easy to point out what is wrong with society but it is another thing entirely to try to change it and i want to salute clint beck for actually doing something and putting his money where his ideological mouth is now why would i want to live in the i and rand paradise of independence usa under the rule of lord beck no no i wouldn't taking marching orders from a tiny portly man known for crying on camera doesn't suit me but if you're a hardcore libertarian here is your chance to make all of your dreams come true but that's just my opinion. sigrid laboratory kirby was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot which on switches doesn't give the doing about anything mission to teach creation why it should care.
